About this study
Official title: The Relationship Between Lower-Limb Muscle Strength and Related Parameters With Vertical Jump in Young Adult Males
This cross-sectional observational study is designed to comprehensively analyze the relationship between high-volume isokinetic muscle performance and explosive vertical jump capacity in healthy, recreationally active young adult males.
While traditional neuromuscular assessments frequently emphasize momentary peak force (Peak Torque), this study investigates the hypothesis that sustained mechanical work capacity (Total Work) and fatigue resistance (Fatigue Index) are more robust predictors of complex explosive tasks such as the countermovement jump (CMJ).

Methodology and Testing Protocol:
Participants will complete all assessments in a single laboratory session under controlled environmental conditions. The standardized testing sequence is as follows:
- Anthropometric and Body Composition Assessment: Participants' height, body mass, and body fat percentage will be measured using a multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analyzer (InBody 270) following standard manufacturer protocols.
- Countermovement Jump (CMJ) Test: Following a standardized dynamic warm-up, participants will perform the CMJ test on a validated contact mat system (SmartJump). Participants will start from a standing position with hands placed on the hips to eliminate the influence of arm swing. They will perform a quick downward countermovement to approximately 90 degrees of knee flexion and execute a maximal vertical jump. Three trials will be conducted with a 30-second rest interval between attempts, and the highest jump will be recorded for analysis.
- Isokinetic Muscle Strength and Fatigue Test: After a 5-minute cycle ergometer warm-up, participants will undergo isokinetic testing on a computerized dynamometer (Humac Norm). Following familiarization trials, participants will execute a high-volume fatigue protocol consisting of 50 continuous, maximal concentric knee flexion and extension repetitions at an angular velocity of 180°/sec for both legs.
Primary Variables Analyzed:
From the isokinetic protocol, the primary variables of interest include Peak Torque (Nm), Average Power (W), Total Work (Nm), and the Isokinetic Fatigue Index (%). These mechanical metrics will be statistically analyzed against the maximum CMJ height (cm) to evaluate the predictive strength of sustained mechanical work capacity versus momentary force production on explosive motor performance.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Conditions or Focus of Study, run by Uludag University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Isokinetic Extension Total Work (ETW) (time frame: Baseline (Single laboratory visit)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07560930, which also lists 4 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 May 2026.
